Great Signature 6-string Acoustic from Tim Armstrong
Based on the favorite '60s Fender acoustic guitar of Rancid's Tim Armstrong, Fender's Tim Armstrong Hellcat 6-string acoustic-electric is a true signature instrument with all the detailed visual appointments that make Tim's original guitar iconic. Fender keeps the vibe of Armstrong's time-tested axe but gives it a touch of modern flair and style, captured in the pearl acrylic Hellcat logos on the third, fifth, and seventh frets and double-skulls at the 12th fret. Thanks to its solid mahogany top and mahogany back and sides, the Tim Armstrong Hellcat 6-string sounds fantastic unplugged — great for jams in the backyard or on the beach. And when you're ready to plug in, you'll find an onboard Fishman Tim Armstrong preamplifier with a built-in tuner kicking out solid amplified acoustic tone.
A great collaboration between great visionaries
Tim Armstrong is the songwriter behind the infamous punk band Rancid — and behind each of those songs stands Armstrong's songwriting partner: his trusty '60s Fender acoustic. Armstrong worked with Fender to design a modern version of his time-tested partner — giving it a strong, rich voice. It also features a few touches of flair to match up with Armstrong's signature style, like pearl acrylic Hellcat fret inlays as well as two skulls adorning its 12th fret, black painted headstock, and a 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard.
All-mahogany body for superb acoustic tone
The Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat 6-string acoustic guitar features a solid mahogany top and mahogany back and sides, giving it a rich and warm voice that is further enriched by its concert-sized body style with Fender's advanced scalloped bracing. The instrument also features a maple neck, a walnut fingerboard, and vintage-style open-gear tuners.
